Source Sugar Free Mixed Berry
February 15th, 2014Tart and sickly. I suppose it’s okay for a budget supermarket own-brand, but it brings nothing original to the energy drinks market and isn’t particularly to my taste either.

USN Spike
February 12th, 2014I purchased this from a health store, so it must be good for you, right? Hmm, well, it’s absolutely jam packed full of sugar as well as the fruit juice it declares on the front of the can. Taste-wise, there’s something of a Monster Ripper essence to it which is nice but very sweet. The main flavours come from apple, pineapple and passion fruit, but they’ve also bunged guava, orange, and a whole host of B vitamins in to boot. All-in-all, it tastes good and gives you one hell of a kick.

Vitabiotics Wellwoman
February 8th, 2014This tastes like it must be good for you, and by that I mean it tastes bloody awful. The can claims it contains Elderberry, green tea, grape seed, artichoke, pomegranate and cranberry – I can only tell you that the combination is not good. Maybe you do have to be a woman to drink it, perhaps it tastes better then? But, in my opinion, it tastes like someone has filtered compost and canned the residue. I know it has a decent caffeine hit, but couldn’t tell you the exact amount because there’s no information on the can. That means that it doesn’t contain enough to warrant the warning – but the caffeine is hidden amongst the guarana and green tea extracts.

Rockstar Pure Zero Fruit Punch
February 5th, 2014Yay! It’s another drink that tastes like a Swizzels Matlow Double Dip! I love it, it’s a very synthetic and sugary tasting mixed fruit drink which fizzes itself down, yet contains only 4 calories per 100ml. Rockstar do seem to put in a lot of effort with their non-standard energy drink flavours and their range contains many of my personal favourites which includes this one. Even a lot of effort has gone in to the can which oozes quality with its dual texture surface.

No Fear Tropical Storm
February 1st, 2014No Fear is generally one of my favourite brands of energy drink, not only for the flavour but also for the originality of a re-sealable can. The two newest additions to the range, Blue Storm and Tropical Storm, do not feature this latter unique selling point unfortunately. Whilst I enjoyed Blue Storm, Tropical Storm was sadly nothing special. It’s a sharp and sweet tropical drink which tastes much the same as any other tropical flavoured energy drink. Still, if you like that sort of thing then you get a lot of drink for your money so far as premium brands go.

Burn: Fruits of the Forest
January 29th, 2014Or Frutos Do Bosque com Sumo as it says on the can. That last bit, according to my phone’s translation software is “with Jeremy”. I don’t think the translator is working properly. It’s average tasting though, quite berry like, but it gives you a massive kick.
Burn: Blue Refresh
January 25th, 2014I was expecting something a bit like a raspberry freeze-pop but it was nothing like that. It’s more like a mixed fruit drink with a sharp touch to the flavour. It packs a really recent punch but tastes average. At least it is pretty original though.
Boost Energy Cola
January 18th, 2014Basically, it’s a really cheap tasting watery cola that left me feeling a little nauseous. It’s of course quite high in caffeine or it wouldn’t make an appearance on this site, but personally, if you like cola, get a proper brand. If you like energy drinks, get a proper energy drink.

Blue Spark Tropical Sugar Free
January 15th, 2014Well, it’s alright. That’s as complimentary as I’m getting with this drink. It was a little watery, but not offensive.
